O adultério
O adultério é pecado grave que destrói alianças, famílias e vidas. A Bíblia condena firmemente a infidelidade conjugal e chama à pureza, fidelidade e santidade no casamento.
A lei de Deus
Não adulterarás. Quem comete adultério destrói a própria alma. A Palavra de Deus é clara e direta sobre este pecado.
Thou shalt not steal.
Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbor, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
And thou shalt not lie with thy neighbor’s wife, to defile thyself with her.
But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul.
But the adulterer through want of sense procures destruction to his soul.
He endures both pain and disgrace,
And his reproach shall never be wiped off.
For the soul of her husband is full of jealousy:
He will not spare in the day of vengeance.
He will not forego his enmity for any ransom:
Neither will he be reconciled for many gifts.
Shall anyone bind fire in his bosom,
And not burn his garments?
Or will anyone walk on coals of fire,
And not burn his feet?
So is he that goes in to a married woman;
He shall not be held guiltless, neither anyone that touches her.
Jesus ensina
Quem olhar para uma mulher com intenção impura já adulterou no coração. Jesus elevou o padrão da pureza.
Armadilhas e consequências
Os lábios da mulher estranha destilam mel, mas o seu fim é amargo. Fuja da imoralidade — o adultério escraviza.
For honey drops from the lips of a harlot,
Who for a season pleases thy palate:
But afterward thou wilt find her more bitter than gall,
And sharper than a two-edged sword.
For the feet of folly lead
Those who deal with her down to the grave with death;
And her steps are not established.
For she goes not upon the paths of life;
But her ways are slippery, and not easily known.

Now then, my son, hear me,
And make not my words of none effect.
Remove thy way far from her;
Draw not near to the doors of her house:
Lest thou give away thy life to others,
And thy substance to the merciless:
Remove thy way far from her;
Draw not near to the doors of her house:
Lest thou give away thy life to others,
And thy substance to the merciless:
Lest strangers be filled with thy strength,
And thy labors come into the houses of strangers;
And thou repent at last,
When the flesh of thy body is consumed,
And thou shalt say, How have I hated instruction,
And my heart avoided reproofs!
I heard not the voice of him that instructed me, and taught me,
Neither did I apply mine ear.
I was almost in all evil
In the midst of the congregation and assembly.
Let thy loving hart and thy graceful colt company with thee,
And let her be considered thine own, and be with thee at all times;
For ravished with her love thou shalt be greatly increased.
Be not intimate with a strange woman,
Neither fold thyself in the arms of a woman not thine own.
For she has fixed her house near death,
And guided her wheels near Hades with the giants.
None that go by her shall return,
Neither shall they take hold of right paths,
For they are not apprehended of the years of life.
The mouth of a transgressor is a deep pit;
And he that is hated of the Lord shall fall into it.
Evil ways are before a man,
And he does not like to turn away from them;
But it is needful to turn aside from a perverse and bad way.
